Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this insert, and that was 13 years ago. The buyer of that poster had it linenbacked and has now reconsigned it to us after all these years, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had surface paper loss and small paper loss scattered across the center, with some creases, smudges, and scuffs scattered throughout, and some tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
